2. ROLE OF CHILDREN:
The traditional First Nations' societies regarded children as "a gift to be brought up to adulthood." Unfortunately, this idealistic view is not shared by all. Craig Kielburger was only 12 years old when he came to realize the injustice of child labour in
the world and established "Free the Children," now the world's largest network of children helping children through education. Their mission stated is posted on the "Free
the Children" website:
Free The Children believes in a world where all young people are free to achieve their fullest potential as agents of change. We are a
charity and educational partner that empowers youth to remove barriers that prevent them from being active local and global citizens. Our domestic programs
educate, engage and empower hundreds of thousands of youth in North America and the UK. Our international projects, led by our holistic and sustainable
Adopt a Village model, has brought over 650 schools and
school rooms to youth and provided clean water, health care and sanitation to
one million people around the world, freeing children and their families from the cycle of poverty. (freethechildren.com)
